We conducted six experiments to examine how manipulating perception versus action affects perception-action recalibration in real and imagined blindfolded walking tasks. Participants first performed a distance estimation task (pretest) and then walked through an immersive virtual environment on a treadmill for 10 min. Participants then repeated the distance estimation task (posttest), the resul...

The functionalities of traffic analysis using computer vision include vehicle speed estimation, traffic flow direction estimation, traffic density estimation and...

In this paper, a new sensorless model reference adaptive method is used for direct control of active and reactive power of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). In order to estimate the rotor speed, a high frequency signal injection scheme is implemented. In this study, to improve the accuracy of speed estimation, two methods are suggested. First, the coefficients of proportional-integral ...

− Accurate knowledge of stator resistance is of utmost importance for correct operation of a number of speed sensorless induction motor control schemes in the low speed region. Since stator resistance inevitably varies with operating conditions, stable and accurate operation at near-zero speed requires an appropriate on-line identification algorithm for the stator resistance. The paper proposes...

This paper presents application of parametric techniques (Estimation of signal parameter by rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT), Root multiple signal classification (Root MUSIC)) for the estimation of harmonics/inter harmonics produced by wind generator under constant, variable rotor speed, load imbalance. Accuracy of estimation by parametric techniques is checked on synthetic signal as w...

The speed of ultrasonic motor of piezo-electric type is usually measured using mechanical sensors such as pulse encoders. However, these sensors are costly and bulky. In this paper, a numerical speed estimation approach of a piezo-electric motor (PEM) is implemented using multilayer perception neural network (MLP-NN). The proposed model evaluates rotational speed and load torque based on the am...

With the large-scale construction of high-speed railway, the impact of its high speed on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) channel estimation has caused a wide range of concern. This paper studies the OFDM systems in high-speed railway environment and its channel estimation using least square (LS) method. In the simulations, we take into account Doppler frequency shift, antenna ...

introduction: the image quality as well as film speed is influenced by the film processing conditions. different combinations of films and processing methods affect the diagnostic accu-racy. temperature and developer exhaustion result in different image quality. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of film type and processing conditions on caries detec-tion.  material and met...

In this paper, a novel method based on a combination of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) with Self-adaptive Differential Evolution (SaDE) algorithm to estimate rotor position, speed and machine states for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is proposed. In the proposed method, as a first step SaDE algorithm is used to tune the noise covariance matrices of state noise and measurement noise i...
